It has been my personal experience that when UVerse enters an area, traditi=
onal DSL has disappears. There are locations where we have ONUs in the buil=
ding with available DSL circuits and they refuse to sell it to us. On anoth=
er note, they sometimes try to offer us a 768k connection in a place where =
we currently have 6mb DSL service. One more thing, once you get UVerse, you=
have to forfeit your traditional DSL. Apparently, the two services cannot =
coexist (some billing program issue), what makes it worse, if you suddenly =
realize your 6Mb was replaced with a 768k UVerse, there's no going back. If=
you can avoid the ATT hassle. Try looking into wireless providers. WiMax h=
as come to the rescue many times when the Cable and Telco companies have no=
t been able to provide us with the service at the price point we were looki=
ng for.=20
